Subject: Spring Cleaning

_____________________________________________________________________________________

"You and me, us never part makidada..."

Every couple of months, I do a little spring cleaning to welcome a few new friends into my closet. Mostly, I take my gently worn designer rags to my local consignment store and the rest to the Goodwill/Salvation Army.

Now, this dress here, I've had for literally over 10 years. I just can't let it go! Every time I try, it keeps calling me back.

Come on, girl. Let's get you back on the hanger...

Show a little leg? Don't mind if I do!

It's heating up around here and bare legs are rapidly making an appearance.

These Mink Pink Slasher Shorts made their appearance back in 2010, I want to say. And they were sold out EVERYWHERE! So, once again stalk mode was in full affect. I realize that I am often in stalk mode for clothing. If there was a registry, I would be on it!

So...who wears short shorts? WE WEAR SHORT SHORTS!

Shirt: Bershka, Shorts: Mink Pink

Handkerchief: Madewell, Lip: Dior Blazing Red

Sunglasses: Ray-Ban

Bag: Flea Market Find, Shoes: BCBG

_____________________________________________________________________________________

I am literally taken aback at the speed at which these months fly by!

Especially when May sneaks up on me. It's my birthday month and it has become a check in point with myself. The more I question where I am in life, the more that I realize that I am exactly where I am supposed to be.

Instead of beating myself up about what I haven't done since last May, I'll reflect here on what I have done:

Traveled to Barcelona, Rome, Paris and the Dominican Republic
Experienced the best and worst (yes both!) 5-month reflection period of my entire life
Started this awesome blog called The Werk! Place
Conducted my first media coverage at the MIM Rocks Fashion Show
Took a wine tour in Napa Valley
Served as a Bridesmaid in my BFFs wedding
Witnessed one of my favorite linesisters/friend get married
Hosted my first baby shower
Started a new job (same company) with an awesome schedule
Took ski lessons in Lake Tahoe
Went to my first Phoenix Sun's Game
Created my 2nd Vision Board
Finally, closed the door to some feelings that should have left long ago.
More importantly, I've grown.
